Start a Job
Below are downloadable forms for you to fill out and submit to us in order to start a job. When opened in Adobe Reader or Acrobat the forms may be filled out electronically and sent back to us via email, or you may choose to print and fill them out by hand.
When you submit your job ticket please be sure to include all necessary materials such as:
Text
Everything moves faster if you have finalized your text before you submit it to us. Designs that have to be revisited or reformatted to accommodate text changes take longer.
For previously designed jobs: Please submit hard copy edits to the latest document as this minimizes time reformatting. For large areas of new text, submit an electronic version (Word doc).
Fact-check and proofing: The Design Center deals with text to the extent of formatting to adhere to college standards, but we do not fact-check or otherwise edit your information ourselves. A college editor will proofread all jobs going off campus or seen by more than 50 people, but it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure all text submitted is correct and free from errors.
Images
If you have images that are not on file with us, please include them with the job ticket. Images must measure at least 1000 pixels in each direction and have a resolution of 300 dpi (150 dpi absolute minimum). Please do not purchase stock photos before receiving approval from the Design Center.
Budget
It helps us to know what type of budget you have available up front. Knowing your desired price range allows us to choose the best printing options for you and gives us a guideline as to how much time should be spent on the project--which helps prevent any unwelcome surprises on your end.

Stationery
In efforts to minimize cost and eliminate unnecessary steps, we’ve created an online portal with our vendor to expedite the ordering process. The portal is effective for all college or departmental stationery. Please email us at design@gordon.edu initially to collect the password and instruction guide for navigating this new system.
Please note: there will no longer campus wide bulk orders of stationery through the Design Center.
